Do women who recently returned to normal blood sugar levels respond differently to the exercise program than those who currently have high blood sugar? Participants will be placed into one of three groups based on current blood sugar levels and medical fitness for exercise: * Group 1 (Diet only): Will follow a Mediterranean eating plan for 12 weeks. * Group 2 (Diet + Exercise,
